How do I use jQuery to ignore case when selecting?

Question

I\'m currently attempting to disable a link using the following jQuery selector:

$(\"a[href$=/sites/abcd/sectors]\").removeAttr(\"href\");

Answer 1

First this is NOT VALID expression since it contains \ ,

If you wish to use any of the meta-characters ( such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\]^``{|}~ ) as

a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \\.

so you must escape the / to \\/

so your expression will be $("a[href$=\\/sites\\/abcd\\/sectors]").removeAttr("href");
